How misguided can you be? I am waiting for BoJo to announce Pearson has been appointed, is that not what his announcement tonight is for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangle Foot Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 I haven't had time to real all the post on this topic, so I may be saying something that's been said already, my apologies in advance. Apart from my expectations that both our performances, and results will drastically improve, I'm really looking forward to Pearson ruffling a few feathers! He may only be with us for 6 months, but it is going to be a crucial 6 months. Assuming he does join us of course. COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit terrifying when you think about it. Normally new appointments can only upset 60% or so, with the other 40% saying "should've stuck with the old guy!"

NP is no fool, and I would not be surprised if he has demanded a clause in the contract stating that he can bring in his own back room staff/team if he keeps us up etc. Goodbye Ashton!!!

Dastardly and Muttley Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 So, let’s move on to how the announcement will be done. Can’t see us getting a manager on the roof. Holden was on the pitch with an oversized scarf... I’m going for a stock photo of Nigel, with Robins graphics top and bottom. Not too sure he’d have actually set foot in Bristol yet today.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Couple of interesting snippets from Gregor's article. Apologies if already covered. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/nigel-pearson-finally-bring-necessary-5031925 Quote The Robins made enquiries into several top-level candidates such as Eddie Howe and Slavisa Jokanovic but Pearson was interested immediately, available now and the club recognises that the 57-year-old can provide a leadership that could finally see the club really challenge for promotion. He was not in contention in the summer, when he suffered a bout of rheumatoid arthritis with swollen joints, but the initial phone call with CEO Mark Ashton last week immediately sparked good chemistry. If accurate, explains a few things! Medical issues in the Summer apparently. Good to see us aiming high too and the last bit might assuage a few fears, at least in the immediate term? Quote Pearson dealt with the volatile set-up at Watford and reportedly fell out with the owners at Leicester City in his first spell there, and if he can deal with that then he can handle the ownership at most clubs. He said last week that he knew what he was getting into at Watford, and he will have done his homework: at City he will find ambition and good backing, with Landown explaining last week that there is leeway to spend in the summer for whoever is the head coach then. This is good. There were questions about whether Hughton had indeed done his homework to the fullest extent last summer? Quote A first task will be to delve into the medical side in BS3 and root out any problems that have seen City lose almost every senior left-footed player at the club. This bit puzzles me- why every natural left footer pretty much falling to injury? It really can unbalance a side that. Quote Longer term, Pearson will have to gel with Ashton - and press conferences and pre- and post-match meetings between the pair will be a fascinating watch. The right recruitment of players, as ever, will also be crucial to progress. More of a challenge for sure, longer term- I'd argue quicker than that, medium possibly even anything beyond that initial phone call! Quote There could be some fireworks along the way, but if all goes well City may have a surefire winner and someone who will not brook mediocrity or low standards. Fan clashes, jousts with journalists, clashes with players and management staff have littered Pearson's managerial career. It may not be quiet. It definitely will not be dull! He'll give 100% and expect it from everyone in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YGBjammy Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 I apologise. It was too easy anyway, in terms of how I think we'll announce him, I think we'll be back to the "in the stands" photos with maybe a scarf? Feel like Nigel wouldn't permit any other novelty shit.
